About a month ago I posted asking if it were possible to have troops simply stay put and guard a particular position (instead of: guarding a commander), and a few tips were given (such as: have an extra commander hang out where you want those troops to be and set them on "guard"). But I think I found a better one. Forgive me if this is old news or useless, but I think it works nicely:
Set them to "fire closest".
